I'm glad there are knowledgeable fans out there that understand M.L.'s
role.  I'm not saying all his moves were great--he had a couple of major
blunders but no one in the media gives him his just due for a move that
will one day rival the McHale/Parish coup. . .Walker/Mercer for
Samaki/Montross.  In addition, his coaching the team was not the
self-serving appointment that most people accused him of.  He was simply
biding time, taking losses on the chin until they could move on a real
coach.  I love to see M.L. at the games and when we win the championship,
know that M.L. placed the first few bricks.
